Air Chinas C919 Takes Off In First Commercial Operation

Air Chinas first C919 jet just completed its maiden flight, marking a major milestone in Chinas aviation industry.

COMAC C919 hits 500,000th passenger milestone 15 months after launch, with more airlines set to adopt the aircraft.

Despite the hype, it may be years before COMAC receives EASA certification, let alone FAA certification.

Six years later, the ARJ21 program once again urgently needs new orders, customers, or solutions to address overcapacity issues.

China’s Big Three will all become C919 operators next week.

As orders are nearly fulfilled, COMAC urgently needs to find new orders or customers for the ARJ21 program to address overcapacity.

COMAC has cleared one more step to get the C919 certified in Europe.

The world’s only airline with an all-ARJ21 fleet to date.

China Eastern Airlines is currently still the only operator of the C919, but not for long.

COMAC is gradually improving the family of C919 derivative models.
